It will be held in India with an objective to connect government agencies, corporate world, expert organisations, relief organisations, and the communities. The Conference emphasises on the crucial role the corporate sector can play in mitigating human suffering wrought by disasters.

The Conference provides an appropriate platform for corporate sector with social conscience to reinforce their willingness to care and share. What task is nobler than rehabilitating the lives shattered in a disaster and rebuilding their future through effective mitigation?
The Conference is the right occasion for corporate world to reinvent their mission and vision and redefine their priorities in the enlightened context of social responsibility. Involvement can be direct for companies in the areas of construction & engineering, power generation, food processing, textiles, drugs & pharmaceuticals, telecom, insurance & reinsurance, hospitals & health care, etc., the list is unending. The Conference will facilitate convergence of the best brains in corporate sector with particular reference to disaster management from across the world, which will provoke thought and action.
Eminent experts with national and international exposure will share their knowledge and experience and present case studies during the conference. The conference will initiate discussions for certain key documents which will help in the process of their development. These include a diary of “Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)” for Corporate Executives on disaster preparedness and response. SOPs will draw from the vast knowledge of the key participants, professional disaster managers on the latest technology and best practices available in the world to meet the disasters. Guidelines and Checklist for CEOs will also be developed along with the Corporate-Community Interface Handbook on Disaster and Environmental Management.
Overall, the Conference aims to create awareness about disasters, which come unannounced and help the people in their preparedness with the message that prevention is safer and cheaper than firefighting and to make them proactive rather than reactive. The conference also aims to articulate the role of corporate sector in disaster management and help them plan their future action.
